Another Fortnite event is on the horizon! According to a recent leak, Epic Games is working on another multi-stage event that will come out by the end of Chapter 5 Season 3. Considering how popular events are, this doesn’t come as a surprise. Furthermore, both seasons in the current chapters have had season-ending events, and Season 3 will follow suit.

With the current Fortnite season ending on August 16, Epic has prepared new content to keep players entertained. The final major update of the season will come out in early August and introduce us to Season 4. Around the same time, we expect another event, and these are some details that we have about it so far.

The next Fortnite event will introduce us to Season 4

Epic Games has released two fantastic events so far in Chapter 5. First, the community had to work together to open Pandora’s Box. This event also included a series of earthquakes and lava, and it lasted for a few days. In Season 2, players were able to witness another multi-stage event, and this time, the focus was on the statue at Mount Olympus.

Interestingly, neither of these was a classic live event. Instead, Epic released their stages periodically, making the community even more hyped and excited. According to Hypex, the most popular Fortnite leaker, a similar event will come at the end of Season 3.

The veteran leaker claims that the event will affect the southern part of the island. More specifically, the area between Megalo Depot and Brutal Beachhead will slowly build up by the end of the Fortnite season. At the moment, this area is empty, but it appears that more Nitro Pipes will be added to it. It’s unknown what the purpose of these pipes will be, but they will probably be connected to the Season 4 storyline.

According to the leaked roadmap, the next Fortnite season will have a Marvel theme, and this might be Epic’s way of introducing us to it. Considering that the last major update of Season 3 will come out in early August, we should get more information about the event with it. In the meantime, we will be able to enjoy the Fortnite x Fall Guys content and unlock the Cybertruck for free.
